No, Seriously, What Do I Do About Nightmare Mode Crawler

[gen3king]

I've been trying to do nightmare mode and my deaths are caused half by my mistakes and half the crawler just going "no your run ends now". I genuinely do not understand the intended counter. There is no longer a warning so if I hear him and he spawned near me I guess I can just eat ♥♥♥♥? I had an incident where I was in the cabbage patch heard the crawler sprinted for my house INSTANTLY and died as the door opened. There is no way this is how its meant to work.

Upping your speed at the start can definitly help, but I'd recommend staying by the door, popping in when the crawler shows up, then do cleanup around the farm as quick as you can when it leaves. The Possom pet can be of big help in task doing, and the crow pet can be great for slow but steady income.

There may also be a timing system to it, where it shows up at exactly the same times each and every time, so that might be something to look into.

There's no pre-warning anymore. You pretty much have to be above the starting patch to make it to the door once it's close enough to be heard. Especially early on when you're slow.

I use a timer on my phone, after the first attack it I am safe for about 1 minute and 45-60 sec

I was selling my extra sticks and roots and then with no sound at all it ran up and killed me.
dude that is why i was near the ding dang door area. my guys face didn't even change.
that crawler is so rage inducing
1. so i have to be above the main plot
2 circle the brown deer and hope the white one doesn't block me
3 can sell anything near it's spawn time or no sound
4 with luck trigger both deer and run in with out getting killed inside of the house if the door is opened.
5 once fishing is unlocked visit the pole only after the crawler comes out and hope to god bubbles don't start as you leaving or entering
6 after dealing with the clown to just have your light hit a deer mostly walking up for it transform and kill you
any other BS ways anyone has been killed?

For bubbles you just have to tease it. Like kinda go in the area just a bit and run out so it reaches but doesn't get you, then it goes away.
